Host-based development with Xoo and Xephyr

From Openmoko

One of good ways to get started developing is getting rootfs working on host machine, since most of us doesn't have real hardware.

Xoo is a graphical wrapper around Xnest, the nested X server. You can make Xnest look like a particular device's display and set up buttons on that device. This is useful for embedded developers who want to simulate a target device on their desktop machine.
